It would have been better than what was served up. No Pixies, no early solo stuff - just a cynical hasbeen going through the motions playing substandard new crap with a comatose backing band. If he wasn't going to play any old stuff why resurrect his Pixies moniker for the tour? The ommission of his best material mightn't have been so bad if his new material was bearable but it's actually a load of uninspired horseshit. Guess he blew his jollies for the freeloaders in the Green. I wish I had made a similar mistake and went to Frances Black by mistake. It would have been better than what was served up.

People in their 50’s. It was a little strange. The bouncer pulled my ticket off me and showed it to one of them. ‘its Black Francis, not Francis Black’ he said to them! I saw at least ten people inside that had made the same mistake! Daft. couldn't help but fell a little sorry for them!

It was a fun idea and worked well. It was possibly a better set than he played later that night! Amazing to see four or five hundred people sitting down outside stephen's green! He said the food in Kevin street Gardai station isn't as bad as he thought it would be, at the gig later on, but i think he was joking...

All those years of rasping through Monkey's Gone To Heaven! It's a nice thing to do for the average Joe when you're in town I think. Fair play, he's a barrel of laughs!
